A Bar Called the Starr Bar in Hyder

Post by daydreams »

I lived in Gila Bend in the late sixties and used to go to Hyder and the old Auga Caliente Hotel and an old small little bar owned by a guy named Charlie and his wife. It was out in the middle of where and it was called the Starr Bar. The walls were covered with signatures of people who passed through and he had an old jukebox. Just wondered if anyone has found it in your wanderings. The first time I was at the hotel there were still plates in the kitchen panty with the logo on them and old wooden chairs in the main room. There were also stacks of bed frames and headboards in an storage shed. There was also a petrified cow that had gotten stuck in the hot springs.

Unfortunately I've never spent any time in Gila Bend
Only drove through once
But whenever I see the Starr name mentioned
you got my attention.
